Microsoft Windows 7 is the latest version of Microsoft Windows operating system. Compare to its predecessor Windows XP and Vista, Windows 7 is more powerful and more secure. Unlike Windows XP, Windows 7 adopted a new password protection system that we can't use the hidden administrator account by default. The problem is that when Windows 7 administrator password lost, we can no longer recover our lost password by using the hidden administrator account. Therefore, how to recover the Windows 7 Admin password if we lost or forgot it?

If you had created more than one administrator account on your Windows 7 computer and you can remember the others admin password, you are lucky. In such a case, you can change one of the administrator accounts' password if you login with another administrator account. What you need to do is just following these 3 easy steps:

Step 1: Click Start -> Control Panel -> Add or remove user accounts

Step 2: Choose the locked administrator account.

Step 3: Click Change the password or Remove the password. And then you can change or remove the lost or forgotten password.

Please note: If you select this method, the locked Windows 7 administrator account will lose all EFS-encrypted files, personal certificates, and stored passwords for Web sites or network resources.

However, if the locked account is the unique administrator account on your Windows 7 computer, you can try the method below.

Method two: Use third party Windows password recovery software

There is plenty of software which is used to recover Windows password available online. You can choose one of them to create a Windows password recovery disk and use the disk to recover Win 7 Admin password. I recommend Windows Login Recovery. Then you can follow these 4 easy steps:

Step 1: Download the software and install it on another computer which has a CD/DVD writer.

Step 2: Run the software and burn the ISO image file into a blank CD/DVD.

Now you can regain access your Windows 7 operating system and create a new administrator password. The best thing of using this method is that you shouldn't lose any data on your computer. Furthermore, If you can't find a computer which has a CD/DVD writer or the locked computer have no a CD-ROM, You can burn the ISO image file into a USB flash drive and use the USB flash drive to recover your Windows 7 administrator password.

Try these two methods the next time you lose or forget your Windows 7 administrator password, which you do not need to reinstall Windows system for getting back to Windows by removing lost or forgotten password.

Firstly, I would suggest you to login to your administrator
account and check if you're able to use the Webcam. Since parental
controls cannot be applied on administrator account, it's worth trying
to use webcam by logging into your administrator account.

Step 1: Test the webcam by logging into your administrator accounta.Log off from the account where webcam isn't working.b.Login to your administrator account and check if the webcam works.

If the issue still persists, then the webcam might not be locked by parental controls. It is in use by a different application.

Step 2: Perform a clean bootA clean boot helps in eliminating software conflicts. Visit the link below to know how to perform a clean boot.http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135Note: Once the troubleshooting is over, reset the computer to start as usual

1.To overcome this problem, you have to login into administrator account and then try installing the driver.2. The present user account from which you are trying to install the driver may not have administrative privilege and may be of limited rights account. so only you are getting some problem like this.

is it windows xp? reboot pc, press f8 before the computer loads windows..so just keep hitting it, but not too much, and choose safe mode. choose to login to the administrator account then go to control panel, user accounts, select the user account you forgot the password for and select reset password. reboot and you're good.

Right click My Computer -> choose manage -> click Local Users and Groups -> Users -> right click your account -> choose Properties -> Member of tab -> see if you are member of Administrators group. if not, add this group.

Restart your computer and when the bootup shows up press F8. Now you should get a list of options including safe mode. Select safe mode. Now when xp shows up Administrator will be a profile. Enter your administrative password and log in. Now remove the program. Then try changing your main account to a standard user and then back to an administrator.

If you are using vista i found this was a bit more difficult, for i encountered the same problem. I created a new account and called it "Amin". Make the new account an administrator. Then log in with the new account and remove the problem. Vista has too many bugs in my opinion.

you need to set your account as an administrator account in users in control panel or open a new user account and use as an administrator account instead of a normal account.
If you are unable to set any account as administrator the option to do so was not installed during the windows installation, therefore you will have to re install windows i'm afraid.
